Spyderco Police

[nikoknife48]

Why didn't Spyderco stay with the traditional blade design of the Police when they came out with the G-10 model?

The trend and function of full flat grind?

Iv wonderd this myself.....

Agreed, Maybe if we whine enough Sal will make the C07G3 in a saber grind.

Edit: There are early G-10 police models with the saber grind.

And they were pretty much a flop on the market. The second try, with full flat grind, didn't fare much better. The real wonder is why there is a Police 3 at all.

I'd rather see the Endura/Delica offered with G10 scales again than have the Police model available. Spyderco, are you listening??

 

[Colt6731]

The Police model is one of my all time favorite Spyderco knives. But, that said, I dont edc one at all anymore. The tips on the orriginal models (including the early G10 models) was very fragile and every one I used for duty carry ended up with the tip blunted at some point. That may have been the reason Spyderco went with a full flat ground blade.

Same here. That's why I ordered a Calypso Sprint Run, the blade is similar.

Can I has a Endura with G-10/ZDP-189?

 

[Ed Ricketts]

Well, regardless of how many others have seen the light, i like the g10 police 3...& like it a lot better than previous versions. I admit, though, i probably carry my stretch most.

This! Dammit, this!

All you need to do is put up about $80,000 up front and commission a Sprint Run. I'm sure you'll be able to recoup your money. It may take a few decades, but eventually you'll get it all back.

They need to do a dual nested liner FRN handle and bring the price down a bit.

 

[yablanowitz]

That would require a new mold for the FRN, which usually runs between $30,000 and $50,000. They would have to sell a whole lot of knives to recoup that new tooling cost, especially at a lower price point. I doubt it would sell well enough with the Endura already established.

The real wonder is why there is a Police 3 at all.

Well, its light weight, long, thin ffg blade, superior traction relative to its stainless predecessors and ease of EDC (due to its thinness) are the primary culprits. About the only downside I see to the Police 3 is the that the long blade and the Spydie hole's close placement to the pivot create a moment arm that reduces flickability. The back lock has something to do with this too.

a Calypso Sprint Run

Yeah, but there you get a small Spydie hole [though probably the same as the Police 3], no jimping and maybe "taller" profile in the pocket. I still want one though. :thumbup:

Can I has a Endura with G-10

I think that Mr. Sal wants to produce a G10 Endura in Powernoodle Blue. He just doesn't know it yet.

Police 3.
